ALB and chronic kidney disease: The condition is typically diagnosed based on a glomerular filtration rate below 60 mL/min-1.73 m2 or a urine albumin to creatinine ratio of 30 mg/g or higher.[1] CKD represents a growing global public health issue, imposing a significant economic burden on society, as current statistics estimate a prevalence rate of approximately 11% to 13% for this condition.[2,3] The progressive decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) causes structural, functional, and molecular alterations in the renal unit, which is a distinctive feature of CKD.
